v1 Chapter 30: The Japanese team cornered

Chapter 1703 The Japanese team forced to the corner

Sugiyama Tatsuya fell to the ground after shooting the goal, but his eyes were fixed on the football until he saw the football fly into the goal. He got up from the ground, then raised his arms and shouted to celebrate.

"Tatsuya Sugiyama—!" the Japanese commentator yelled, "Shuto—! The goal has been scored! The Japanese team has evened the score! Now the score is 1:1! At 31 minutes into the first half, we The score is equalized! We still have hope! Don't give up! Come on, Japan team!"

The Japanese commentator is so excited, naturally because the outcome of this game is related to whether the Japanese team can get World Cup tickets.

After the Chinese team scored the first goal, he was in pain and at the same time worried for the team.

Huge pressure lay in everyone's heart, as if it was a boulder that could fall down at any time.

Seeing Sugiyama Tatsuya's goal now, the commentator only felt lighthearted.

Regardless of the final result, at least Tatsuya Sugiyama's goal is a good sign.

Chinese commentator He Feng sighed: "Oh, wrong in, wrong out, wrong in, wrong out... Junpei Morikawa's through ball was actually seen through by Wang Guangwei, but Wang Guangwei's interception touched the football to Tatsuya Sugiyama... Tatsuya Sugiyama's movements are really fast. He stopped the ball a little bit, and he can immediately catch up with the direct half-volley. If he waits for the ball to fall completely before controlling the ball, there will definitely be no room for shooting. .Mao Junzheng and Liu Yan are already standing in front of him..."

Although he was a little disappointed with the conceded goal, He Feng still maintained a calm mind for everyone to analyze.

On the one hand, this is because of his professionalism as a commentator, and on the other hand, because the Chinese team has qualified ahead of schedule, his mentality is also very relaxed, and he can completely face all the ups and downs in the game with a relatively peaceful mind.

Although everyone knows the enmity between China and Japan, it is not that they have not lost to Japan before, or even in other words, "Is it less time to lose to Japan?"

As a professional football commentator, He Feng thinks differently than a pure fan. He actually agrees with coach Dillon to use the last two top 12 games for training.

Since it is military training, of course there are winners and losers.

As long as the game can realize the plan made in advance by the coaching staff, it doesn't matter whether he wins or loses in the end, He Feng thinks it is acceptable.

It's just that most fans don't think so.

So after the goal was lost, there were still huge curses and boos from the stands.

Curses and boos were given to both the Japanese team that scored a goal and the Chinese team that conceded a goal.

Hu Lai was not allowed to participate in the game, which made many Chinese fans very upset. Now they conceded the ball and were equalized by the Japanese team...Many Chinese fans seem to attribute all this to Hu Lai's absence.

"If Zhou Zijing's chance had been replaced by Hu Lai, we would have led 2:0, how could we be scored by the Japanese team?"

"During this time, Little Japan has been pressing us to fight! Why can they do this? Isn't it because there is no Hu Lai in front of us, so Little Japan is so unscrupulous?!"

※※※

I don't know if it was intentional by the TV broadcaster. During the booing, the broadcast camera cut to the face of the head coach of the Chinese team, Jorge Dillon.

He stood on the sidelines with a calm face, and he didn't show any emotion because of losing the ball.

Assistant coach Keli Sekeros and translator Yu Jintao stood on the sidelines with him.

Different from Dillon's calmness, Yu Jintao covered his mouth and seemed to be talking to him.

"I'm afraid these boos and curses are not all for the Japanese team."

Dillon said with a calm expression and a calm tone: "Of course, there is still a part for us. But it doesn't matter. As a coach, you must have your own persistence and not be manipulated by the fans. It is the fans who understand or the coach who understands." ? We can’t give in just because the fans scolded a few times, so we should just let the fans be the coaches.”

※※※

The game restarted amid the boos, and the Japanese team, which equalized the score, continued to attack the Chinese team's goal aggressively.

The Chinese team had to temporarily shrink their defense, hoping to withstand the three tricks after the Japanese team equalized.

How violent is the Japanese team's offense?

Even Junpei Morikawa came up and took a long shot, and the quality of the shot was quite high-at least no anti-aircraft guns were fired.

It just deviated slightly from the goal by about two or three meters and flew out of the baseline.

This is the second match between the Chinese team and the Japanese team in the top twelve. Compared with the last match a year ago, the Chinese players can feel that the pressure brought on them by the Japanese players has increased significantly. up.

After all, a year ago, the Japanese team's World Cup qualifying situation was not as bad as it is now. Although the Japanese team ranked third in the group at that time, there were still seven rounds in the top twelve. At that time, which Japanese player did not believe that they would face the fate of playing in the play-offs in the end?

At that time, the motivation of the Japanese team may have come more from the idea of ​​"not losing to the Chinese team at home".

It was a fight for face.

Now, it's a real fight for survival.

In another top 12 match last night, Iraq lost 1:5 to Iran at home.

The Iranian team has tied the Japanese team in terms of points. At the same time, in terms of goal difference, the Iranian team now has twelve, while the Japanese team has only six, which is very different.

As a result, the ranking of the Japanese team will drop to third.

The third place needs to go to the play-offs with the third place in another group. At present, Australia is the most likely to win the third place in another group. So if the Japanese team wants to play in the play-offs, the opponent will most likely be Australia.

After defeating Australia, the Japanese team will have to compete with the fourth place in the CONCACAF qualifiers for the last ticket to enter the World Cup.

With the strength of the Japanese team, if they really want to play the play-offs with the fourth place in Central and North America and the Caribbean, they will definitely win, there is no suspense.

But the point is... Except for the first time in 1998 when they entered the World Cup, how many years has Japanese football not experienced the feeling of having to pass the play-offs to reach the World Cup finals?

Now go to play the play-offs of the play-offs... Shame or not?

Hmm... It's still a matter of face.

As the "top class" of Asian football, Japanese football has been used to being strong for so many years. It is really unfamiliar and makes them feel angry to be cornered suddenly.

This kind of anger is completely different from being defeated by the Chinese team at home.

"Ito Nu... Be careful!"

He Feng exclaimed, and Ito Nu's shot was blocked by Liu Yan with his body.

The second landing point was controlled by the Japanese team.

Sugiyama Tatsuya made a gesture to shoot directly, raised his foot high, then lowered it gently, and when he put it down, he used the outside of his foot to transfer the football to the team's right midfielder Akira Fukuzawa.

The latter shot directly without stopping the ball!

Fortunately, Lin Zhiyuan chose his position well, without moving, he directly held the football in his arms.

"Good shot! Lin Zhiyuan defended the ball beautifully! The position selection is very accurate!"

Both He Feng and Yan Kang let out a sigh of relief.

During this period of time, the defenders and goalkeepers of the Chinese team had a particularly high appearance rate. After all, the Japanese team was attacking most of the time.

We all hope that the Chinese team can withstand.

From the current point of view, the first half of the game is coming to an end, and the Chinese team's defense has indeed withstood.

Although there are many thrilling scenes similar to those just now.

But in any case, the Chinese team really defended it.

"...There are two minutes left in the first half, and the stoppage time should not be too long...Although the Chinese team was equalized, their performance after conceding the goal is still stable. As long as we can maintain this When the score reaches halftime, I believe Dillon will make adjustments... It must be said that although Hu Lai was not recruited this time, judging from the first half, the performance of the Chinese team is not bad..."

While He Feng was talking, goalkeeper Lin Zhiyuan threw the football forward with his hands.

Zhou Zijing retreated to respond and pushed the football back to his teammates in the middle of the midfield.

Gao Ruimin received the ball, and then he chose to distribute the football to Luo Kai on the side.

But whether it was before receiving the ball or before passing the ball, he didn't glance at the direction he was going to pass the ball to.

So when he passed the football, the ball did not fall to Luo Kai's feet, but passed to the Japanese team's left back Eiji Kawasaki!

It looks like... no, it doesn't look like, that is, Gao Ruimin just passed the football to Eiji Kawasaki!

The left back of the Japanese team is almost pressing to the position of the left winger, which shows how anxious the Japanese team is.

It stands to reason that the opponent's full-back is so high, as long as Gao Ruimin can pass the ball to Luo Kai's feet, it will be another excellent opportunity to counterattack.

But now it gave the Japanese team a chance to attack!

Kawasaki Eiji himself did not expect the Chinese team to give him such a big gift, and he adjusted a little more when he received the ball. Then he didn't dribble the ball directly by himself, but passed it diagonally to Tatsuya Sugiyama who was in the penalty area!

While Tatsuya Sugiyama was receiving the ball, he swung Liu Yan away with a very beautiful turning movement ~lightnovelpub.net~ After adjusting the direction, he swung his foot again to shoot.

Both Wang Guangwei and Mao Junzheng rushed towards him at the same time, but he stabbed the football between them.

Passed to Ito Nu who was pulled to the back point.

The top scorer of the Japanese national team calmly pushes!

Lin Zhiyuan was swayed by Tatsuya Sugiyama's first kick, which caused him to be half a beat behind when he rushed to Ito Nu. He made all the moves, but he didn't block them. He could only watch the football fly into his place again. Guarding the goal...

In the forty-fourth minute, the first half was about to end, and the Japanese team scored another goal and overtook it!

PS, it’s so embarrassing, I came out to play and found that my home was stolen—there was a close connection in the community, so I was banned...

The original plan was to go home today, but

Now I am still wandering in western Sichuan with my family.

Fortunately, I brought a computer, but I am on the road every day, so I have no time to write...
